Most Helpful Customer Reviews

I bought this case almost right away after buying my Evo. I debated on the quality of the case because it is actually two pieces, cut across horizontally. However, when you put the case together, the build is very solid, and fits the phone very tightly. The case feels very like a very hard rubber (or maybe a soft plastic) - not too slick like plastic and not to "rubber sticky". Also, there is a soft velvety material inside so that the case does not scratch up the phone if you have to remove it to get at the SD card - enhancing the snug fit. The best feature of the case has to do with the camera. The back camera on the Evo sticks out and will surely get scratched up over time, but the camera does not stick out beyond the case, so you can feel at ease setting the phone down on its back.

My only dislikes deals with the kickstand and power button. The phone will wobble when sitting on the kickstand. This is frustrating for two reasons. One, it shifts the phone's COG such that if you were to press the screen, the phone would likely tip over. The second part is that the phone will wobble if it is on any surface with vibrations running through it (like in the car). The power button is almost perfectly flush with the top of the phone, and the case can makes it tougher to make you "feel" like your finger's on the button or if you're pressing the back edge of the phone, but it's really a very very minor complaint.

Overall, this is an excellent case that fits very solidly, protects the camera and looks stylish.

**UPDATE**I have now had this case for a few weeks and am updating my review. The case has held up well and, looking at my phone, doesn't have a scratch on it; my phone was flung out of my hands once and the case did its job without a scratch.Read more ›

I was kind of apprehensive when I first purchased this case. I was hoping it wasn't rubbery and impossible to slide into your pocket. Well, it was way better. I don't know exactly what it is, but if I had to guess I'd say the finish on the case is an orgy of silk, clouds, pearls and marshmallows. I didn't know if I should eat it or line my mattress with it. The protection seems pretty sturdy considering I've never had a 2 piece case like this before.

I opted for this model instead of the Active case because its slightly thinner yet still seems like it would do a good job protecting my Evo. No real cons, although pulling it out of your pocket will get some lint stuck in the corners. It is just thick enough to protect the protruding camera on the back which is a huge plus.

The white looks amazing on the Evo. I don't really write many reviews, but this case rocked so hard, I had to.

This is a great case in terms of fit and quality. The pieces fit well together and lock securely, but are easy to separate once you get the hang of it. The white is quite striking.

However, the case does not stay white after about a week. I wash my hands fairly often, but the case still yellows from handling, and cannot be cleaned using typical solvents like rubbing alcohol. So overtime, this case will go from all white to spotty yellow.

Dust also get trapped under the lip on the front of the case, but that might not matter to you.

I purchased this case directly from Seidio and what I received left me very disappointed. While it snaps together very easily the case is quite loose in the top corners and has a bit of "play" to it. While holding it in your hand the looseness creates a creaking noise. The noise in itself while very annoying is not the biggest concern here. Because the case does not fit properly and wiggles around it causes the case to scratch up the phone quite a bit. Fortunately for me I read an article on Android Central about this and had my wife remove the case from her phone to prevent any damage.

Seidio was quick to acknowledge this defect and started shipping out revised cases that were fixed, or so they said, to customers. I got one of those "revised" cases and the issues were still very much there. We were told by Seidio directly that all new cases would come with a rubber coated inside that made the phone fit more snug to the case and prevent it from being loose, but mine along with so many others did not come this way; we all got defective ones as replacements.

Seidio also guaranteed that as of June 15, 2010 all cases sold from Amazon would be the new revised cases as well. This too has been confirmed to be false by a few members at Android Central. No one has been able to confirm whether Seidio actually provided new cases to Amazon to sell or if Amazon despite having the fixed cases are still selling the defective ones. Buyer beware!

This is basically a shell composed of two parts that fit over the Evo. There is a rubber kind of sheet inside that may perhaps provide some additional shock protection.

The shell is just thick enough to keep the rear camera lens protected when the unit is placed on a flat surface.

The build quality is high and all the sockets and connectors remain easily accessible.

If you use a second battery, the case is a pain because the two sections join together tightly and are a hassle to separate.

My opinion is that the case offers little shock protection and its value is in acting as a cover for the phone to prevent wear marks on its surfaces. As such, I think it overpriced. By the same token, with a good screen protector and this case, I feel pretty comfortable carrying the unit in my pocket.

Overall, this will for the moment, but I'm keeping my eyes open for a more durable solution.
